Ma Wensheng quickly took control of the government.
The people that the county magistrate of Shanyin County had bitten out were all under control.
Ma Wensheng had captured more than 30 officials of all sizes.
It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a huge earthquake in the officialdom of Zhejiang Province.
These few days, Ma Wensheng had been questioning the officials of Zhezhi for days and nights. He had pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. The number of coastal gentry and landowners involved was as many as the hair on an ox.
Ma Wensheng had Qi Jingtong stay put and monitor the coastal gentry.
As for how to deal with these people from the southeast of Ming, they still needed the order from Bei Zhi Li.
……
Zhu Youtang was not idle in the area of Fujian and Guangzhou.
The Brocade Guard and the East Hall were like mad dogs. Within a day, they quickly controlled more than twenty officials in Min Guang.
Chief Secretary of Fujian.
Lin Tingzhi's face was filled with anger and indifference.
"Is the emperor really going to show his butcher knife to the southeast regardless of the consequences?”
Commander He Chong was drenched in cold sweat. Lord Lin, we're finished this time, we're finished!”
Lin Tingzhi's lips curled up, and his face was twisted.""Are you done? Not necessarily! As long as the emperor was dead, who could still manage the mess in the southeast?”
" What?!"
"Lord Lin, what are you doing?" He Chong was shocked.”
Lin Tingzhi was almost crazy." The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the East Chamber have all been mobilized. They've spread to almost every corner of the southeast. The five armies in North Zhili are just decorations!"”
"The emperor's move is very high. He intends to control the southeast like lightning, but the defense of Bei Zhili will instantly fall into a state of emptiness.”
"I have people in the Imperial Censorate, and they know what to do to stabilize the situation.”
"He will definitely do this to save the entire southeast!”
Hiss!
Lunatic!
……
Information was sent back to the capital.
As long as the cabinet saw the memorial from the southeast, they would not dare to act rashly. They would directly send it to the ceremonial supervisor for the emperor to read it personally.
In less than half a month, nearly thirty memorials had already arrived from Minzhe.
What did Ma Wensheng do in the Southeast?
Everyone in the cabinet and the six departments were dumbfounded. The Forbidden City was plunged into an unprecedented somber atmosphere. Everyone was trembling with fear, afraid that the Emperor's anger would strike them.
Zhu Youtang was casually flipping through the books and memorials from the southeast in Yangxin Hall.
After a long time, he threw the memorial aside and leaned against the couch.
It was already early winter in the second year of Hongzhi. The brazier in Yangxin Hall had already been lit, and the temperature in the room was very high.
Zhu Youtang pushed open the door of Yangxin Palace Hall in his thin clothes.
"Emperor, it's cold outside. This old servant will bring you a cloak.”Zhang Min hurriedly said carefully.
Zhu Youtang sneered,"No need, no matter how cold the wind outside is, it can't compare to my chill."”
"Go and call all six departments of the cabinet over. Let's see how to stabilize the Southeast and how to deal with the demons and ghosts in the Southeast.”
"This old servant obeys."
……
The six departments of the cabinet had been waiting for the Emperor to summon them.
They were not surprised that Zhang Min had come, so they headed straight for Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Have a seat."
Zhu Youtang was still capable and directly threw more than 30 memorials and manuscripts on the long table.
"Let's finish reading first."
After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, he leaned against the couch with his eyes half-closed.
The cabinet and the officials of the six departments quickly flipped through the information from the southeast.
Every time he read a letter, the anger on his face increased by 30%.
By the end, their hands that were holding the memorials and notebooks had already begun to tremble slightly.
Smuggling firearms and artillery, colluding with Japanese pirates to rob the people along the southeast coast, creating chaos in the southeast, hiding Japanese pirates, and colluding with Japanese pirates!
After seeing these countless crimes, the eyes of the six cabinet members turned red!
The chaos in the southeast was not caused by the Japanese, but by this group of daring dog officials of the Ming Dynasty!
The bloody cases in the southeast would not have happened.
Because of the selfishness and greed of these people! This was because after the imperial court opened the shipping company, they intended to pressure the imperial court to close it so that they could continue their smuggling business!
That was why they had created trouble along the coast to put pressure on the Imperial Court and the Emperor!
Amazing! The dog officials of the Southeast were really powerful!
In their eyes, commoners were not even worth mentioning. They could be used as they pleased and slaughtered by the pirates to satisfy their greed!
Good! Very good!
"Do the officialdom of the southeast still have the imperial court in their eyes? Hmm? Was there still the Ming Dynasty? Hmm?"
"Did the Imperial Court give them such great authority just to let them act so recklessly? Hmm?"
Liu Jian stood up and roared, smearing everything!
Zhu Youtang slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Jian."Please sit down, Grand Secretary Liu.”
"In their eyes, do they still have this emperor? Hehe, I don't think so."
The six departments of the cabinet stood up and bowed."I have neglected my duty."
Zhu Youtang flicked his sleeves." It's not your fault. What does the accumulated fatigue during the Chenghua years have to do with you?"”
The nine of them felt as if they had been pardoned and said emotionally,""Thank you for your generosity, my emperor."
Zhu Youtang opened his eyes slightly and sat up straight."Tell me, how should we deal with them?”
The nine of them thought for a moment before Wang Shu, the Minister of Personnel Affairs, said,"This subject requests the Ministry of Justice, Imperial Censorate, and Supreme Court to conduct a joint hearing and execute this group of vile creatures!”
Zhu Youtang raised his eyes and stared at Wang Shu. He suddenly sneered and said,"Is this the rule that you, the Minister of Personnel, told me?”
"Let me ask you, if all the officialdom in the southeast is brought into the capital, how will the southeast operate? Do I not want the Southeast anymore?"
Wang Shu was shocked.
Those words just now were naturally said out of anger. He did not think about it. After all, who could remain calm after reading these memorials?
But Zhu You can do it!
Wang Shu was a little ashamed. After calming down, he said,"I have neglected my duty."
After thinking for a while, Wang Shu said,"I will bring out a personnel transfer plan for the Ministry of Personnel to replace the Southeast officialdom tomorrow at the earliest and present it to the Emperor."”
Zhu Youtang nodded.
"Pay attention to next year's spring examinations and pick out a batch of usable talents for Zhen.”
"Yes."
After the Minister of Personnel Affairs sat down, Liu Jian said,"The officialdom in the southeast can be greatly changed, but how should we deal with the gentry and landlords in the southeast?”
"If we don't kill them, how can we defend the southeast?" Zhu Youtang said indifferently. If I don't kill you, how can I face the dead people of the Southeast?”
"Alright, let's go. Grand Secretary Liu, tell Ma Wensheng that we can close the net in the southeast.”
"Tomorrow, the Ministry of Personnel will finish changing officials in the southeast. Have Ma Wensheng send these immortals and heroes to the capital.”
"There's no need for the three divisions to hold a joint hearing. Zhen will personally meet them.”
